description	Root routing index for framework-independent Redux and redux-saga guidance in themis. Use for canonical Redux state policy, action/reducer primitives, normalized state helpers, typed-redux-saga patterns, saga manager behavior, saga channel/effect helpers, explicit store pruning, serialization, testing, debugging, and verifier handoff. Use the selected Store family skill for framework-specific Store selector/component behavior, choosing only one concrete Store family per app.

Core Redux and saga routing

Use this skill for framework-independent Redux/redux-saga work in the themis package. It routes to the core skills that are not owned by Store-family-specific taxonomy waves.

This package uses a CUSTOM Redux setup — not Redux Toolkit (RTK). Do not use createSlice, configureStore, createAsyncThunk, or any RTK API.

Preflight

• Read this skill plus every linked core leaf that applies to touched files.
• Cite the applicable skills and docs in implementation plans and handoffs.
• Include verifier-ready evidence: owner searches, focused tests, validation scripts, or git diff --check depending on the change.
• Stop and ask if a request crosses into Store-family-specific selector, component, lifecycle, or observable behavior.
• Pair core with at most one concrete Store family for a given app/code path; core is shared Redux/redux-saga guidance and is not permission to integrate multiple concrete Store family patterns in one app.

Core routing workflow

1. Start with ./core-policy/SKILL.md for shared-state or architecture decisions.
2. Add ./state-integrity/SKILL.md before adding/changing Redux state, actions, selectors, watchers, or saga registration.
3. If and only if the user explicitly asks to prune unused Redux store surface area, add ./store-pruning/SKILL.md before deleting selectors, actions, reducers, sagas, exports, tests, or orphaned helpers.
4. Add domain leaves that match the behavior being changed.
5. Add ./testing/SKILL.md for reducer, saga, or verification changes.
6. Add ./verifier/SKILL.md before handoff for reliability-sensitive reviews.

Related non-core routes

• Store family selector, component, lifecycle, migration, and observable-output guidance is selected by the root router outside core.
• Concrete Store families are mutually exclusive per app. Mixed repositories may use different families in separate apps/packages/code paths, but one app must not combine multiple Store family patterns.
